"Sekmai - Traditional spirit of #Manipur". Was a gift so don't recall the price. Tasted no different than Sake (Warning: I'm not a connoisseur of drinks so don't take my word).
Wonder what has become of it. The bamboo basket cover was quite unique. #Drinks#Alcohol#Wine
The Strong variety of chuhai isn't what it used to be in Japan. Asahi, which had sold 79 brands in its Strong series lineup, only has one offer today. Sapporo has also cut down its Strong series from 20 brands in 2018 to one now.
For several years, some health professionals have sounded the alarm about “Strong” chuhai drinks, which are highly palatable and easy to over-indulge. That led one doctor to make headlines when he branded Strong Zero “a dangerous drug”.
Today I'm #Drinking#Pisco. I love it. Cheaper than french brandy, and better. It's a relatively cheap spirit that's nice neat, amazing as a sour, and mixes well with hot chocolate. Lots of light raisen notes.
Maybe they're not so Strong: once-popular high-alcohol chuhai drinks are disappearing in Japan due to a mounting health backlash. Learn more about the reversal of fortune for Japan's once-mighty king of fast inebriation in our latest.
If you were wondering why #whisky production isn't outlawed all over the world, along with other #alcohol ic beverages: it might be due to whiskey being the #UK 's 5th largest export product, with the UK being the largest exporter in the world. Its market share is valued at £6.25 billion, and its industry supports 42,000 jobs. Ain't nobody gonna take that #spirit away!
I hope Barnyard can find the maturity and self-awareness to use this moment as the catalyst for taking real action about his relationship with alcohol. He really owes it to his partner and his children, particularly the young ones.
I doubt he will but he will have my full support if he does
This is a special summer only flavor that's around for a limited time.
Probably Crown Royal's best flavor of all time. It just smells so damn good right in the bottle. The taste is amazing. You can certainly taste the sweetness and the bitterness of the blackberries mixed perfectly with the Crown itself.
